Convert HTML Files to XML

This example demonstrates how to convert HTML files to well-formed XML files. The purpose of converting HTML is to provide well-formed XML that can be parsed. By leveraging existing XML tools and libraries, it is easy to "scrape" HTML pages to extract information. The Chilkat HTML-to-XML converter automatically fixes most HTML errors. In any case, well-formed XML is always output.

The input/output files used in this example are provided here, along details explaining rules for conversion.
